What we do

Our work is designed to tackle business objectives in the areas of community involvement and corporate social responsibility, learning & development, employee engagement and sustainability.

We do this in ways that not only deliver business outcomes, but that also benefits charities, communities and society as a whole.
 
We work with clients on an ongoing, long term basis and on a project basis, and there are three broad categories to our work:
 
Learning & development – we design and deliver experiential learning to develop skills and behaviours, and awareness of social issues, all through real projects that connect employees with communities.  
 
Community projects – we keep employees engaged, motivated and connected to the real world through tailored community initiatives such as team days, charity partnerships and overseas community projects. 
 
Consultancy – we offer tailored support in topics as varied as community engagement strategy, measurement & evaluation, sourcing and designing charity partnerships and helping to set up volunteering programmes. 
 
5 key features of Three Hands and our work:
 
  • 'Cradle to grave capabilities' - we're good at everything from researching community partners through to measurement & evaluation - with project design, logistics, facilitation and consultancy inbetween.
  • Integrating sustainability - we link CSR/ sustainability with HR and L&D in practical and effective ways.
  • Imaginative project design - we know how to design projects that engage, challenge and inspire.
  • Business impact and social impact - we emphasise the social objectives as well as the business objectives, and we assess the social outcomes and business outcomes in equal measures.
  • Working with the leaders - our impressive list of client organisations, including Sky, Legal & General, O2, Guardian News & Media and Centrica, reflects leadership in CSR and sustainability.
